What gets me is this trend of taking random important buttons and hiding them unless you hold the option key. It's so bizarre that they think this is a good idea. Finding detect displays always requires a google search. They also did it for the Library entry in Finder's "Go" menu.

This was the final nail in the coffin for any reasonable interface. This creates an environment where the user can never know what options are fully available without hitting the option key. So when in doubt, on every single panel, perform an extra action to find something that could be available to you. Nonsense.

I think this is often the result of conflicts between management. One manager wants to have a clean interface and says get rid of the "detect displays" button. The other says that detect displays is a important feature we can't get rid of. What we get is the compromise that is worse than either option.

Maybe, though here's another take: "Detect displays" is confusing. I don't even know what it does. The option key is for people who already know what they want and isn't meant to be discoverable.
